whatever happens.
Please see instructions for advice regarding the ventilation of the vest and repeated
readiness for use!

The life vest in an aired and unfolded

state. On the left side you will find the

On the right side you find the mouth
tube and the rescue strap. The vest
needs to be in a dry and clean
condition before folding up!

Please move the rescue strap upwards

breast part of the buoyancy body
around the mouth tube, then the left
